location. Drill 1/8 in. (16mm) diameter hole in top tank of
radiator. Be sure chips do not fall inside the tank. Remove
any burrs on the hole wall.
2. Insert the rubber grommet of the PS Blind Hold Fitting.
Tighten the jam nut while holding the fitting from turning in
the hold. The jam nut will pull the tapered grommet into the
hole from the inside of the top tank causing the grommet to
expand and seal the hole.
3. Attach the appropriate tubing or hose for the PS Fitting.
Installation Notes
1. All top radiator connections must be away from the
return hose turbulence.
2. All bottom radiator connections must be away from
the suction hose.
Installation Instructions 3. If top tank and bottom tank entries are used on a pressurized
system, a restriction in the tubing will have to be added to
